Solution
Valli refuses to look out of the window on her way back because she witnessed a horrible sight. She saw a young cow lying dead by the roadside. It was the same cow that was running in front of their bus during her trip to the town. She felt sad; the memory of the dead cow haunted her, and she refused to look out the window.
